BTW aren’t they always telling us the “crowd of thousands” or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or even a million?
Now we know the crowd is, 200.
I recall looking her up online then and quickly learning of her looks and of her earlier reputation in UK for using them to advance her career. But I still think of her as more than just a pretty face atop a stacked figure. As with Palin, don't let her pretty packaging make you overlook the impressive package within. In her repeated service as a war correspondent she's proven she has bigger b*lls than most of the male reporters. Being wounded by an IED hadn't stopped her risk taking. I don't regularly watch MSM, but what I've seen of her coverage seems fairer than most.
I hope she recovers well both mentally and physically from this. She'd known this kind of thing could happen, had discussed it on the air in the past and had tried to prepare herself for the possibility. It will be interesting to see how it affects her reporting. If she wants to comment on it the CBS will have to let her do so, PC or not, with minimal editing, at least for a while. Almost as much as they'll have to report whatever Gabby Giffords says unedited once she's able to comment publically on her shooting. And the rest of the MSM will have to report her comments as well. At a sadly steep price she's gained some power. I don't know just how liberal she really was. Her background as a white originally from South Africa was already quite different than what produced most MSM drones. It will be interesting to see how this affects her. The old definition of a conservative being a liberal who was mugged by reality comes to mind.
I found several, but I don't think all, of her old QC Times pieces online and will link to them below on the chance folks may find them of interest.
Camanche native's wife reports from the front lines in Afghanistan
America faces a rough land tattered by weather, history
A dash for front-row seats to the air strikes

Scenes live on in my mind, despite distance
Coverage of messy divorce ensnares CBS reporter with ties to Quad-Cities
Too bad they didn't axe for that from the peace and democracy loving muzzies!
Cerially this IS how they treat women! You are property. If left unclaimed ie beekeepered, you are subject to public rape!
It is amazing how the lefties believe that their pacification of Islam somehow earns them some kind of pass with Islam.
Islam despises them and the left’s infatuation with deviancy (same-sex marriage, pedophilia, homosexual indoctrination, fornication, adulery, divorce, etc) and their strict adherence to a culture of death (i.e. abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, etc) and atheism simply is used against all of us in the west, by the Islamists, as proof that the west is truly the Great Satan.
It is a pipe dream that Egypt will ever be anything other than an Islamc State...with all the peace of Islam, of course. There is absolutely nothing installed to foster a real democracy. There is plenty installed to implement an Islamic State.
Could be worse. They might have been Tea Party protesters.../sarcasm
Now she’s a muslim—that is amuslim core belief- that when infidel females (male too?) are raped they becomes muslim.
When the Turks were committing genocide in Asia Minor that is what they would do.
Wait until the Muslims feel more empowered ...
Where's Annette Benning? Shouldn't she don her harem get-up and go plead with the mullahs?
Anytime you are around ARABS, you should expect this type of behavior. They are barbaric and have no respect for women. This is how Islamic men treat women. All women in an Arab country should be Warned!
Her camera crew apparently could not help though, though the size of the mob might made any attempt by them to help her futile.
Though she may have operated in Afghanistan, there was the protection of US Troops.
That was not true in Egypt.
Maybe that is a lesson to learn from this...
She better not complain too much, the PC police wouldn’t like it.
Some women would call me a chauvinist pig because I don’t support putting women in combat zones nor in situations like this. It creates tension and a whole separate but unneeded issue of involvement and consideration by her peers and supporting personnel.
snicker.
I wish I were the POTUS right now cause I would invade that shithole with US Marines and tell our boys anyone who gets a confirmed kill of these rapists will win 5 Million Bucks!
This really pisses me off and if Obama don't at least make a strong public statement condemning these animals he should hide in shame till the end of his first and only term and then disappear from public life forever.
I hope everyone of these rapist thugs die a long and painful death, like thrown in prison and raped to death by some well-endowed he-man!
Get a clue, dumb See BS reporterette! You're lucky you're alive. What are you going to name your Egyptian “souvenir’ in 9 months? Doh!
Only one things surprises me. They didn’t stone her to death for being raped.
Gee, you almost never hear about this sort of thing happening at a Tea Party.
